| I have come across a bug. When I run a TinyMUX2.0 server on my Win98 box, MUSHclient will crash quite a bit more often than not if I issue @shutdown to the server. Whether I'm using the Win32 version or the CygWin version of the server, this happens. I believe it is a timing issue, because MUSHclient doesn't recognize @shutdown the way it recognizes QUIT, and thus tries to reconnect while the TinyMUX server is in the process of terminating. Thus it seems to connect for a fraction of a second, then--when the server program finally terminates--something Bad(tm) happens, and MUSHclient crashes. I believe this would simply be fixed by having MUSHclient recognize @shutdown as saying "don't reconnect!" the same way it does when you use QUIT. I have even tried sending @shutdown and QUIT at the same time on separate lines, to little avail (it helps once in a while, I think).
Thanks! | | Top |

| Try doing this ...
- Make @shutdown an alias
- Have the alias call a script which sends the "@shutdown" and immediately calls world.disconnect. A scripted disconnection will not attempt to reconnect.
The script might look like this ...
sub Shutdown (strName, strLine, aryWildcards)
world.send "@shutdown"
world.disconnect
end sub

| | Why must MUSHClient crash when trying to reconnect like this? I've seen someone @shutdown/reboot like 15 times to make someone elses MUSHClient crash 15 times, it's annoying. Can't this bug just be fixed? :p | | Top |

| Ah yes, I see it now. There was a serious bug in 'reconnect on disconnect'.
This has been fixed in version 3.19. |
